For the past few years, he developed a favorable rapport with Beaumont Unique Flowers owner, Kandy Buckley, who has owned her 50-year-old shop since 2010.With her, Moosbrugger confides, “My customers will be in good hands.”He closed his store more than a week ago, and transferred all of his accounts to Beaumont Unique Flowers. He left a sign on the door of his old business, encouraging his supporters to now support Buckley’s shop.“She’s the best flower shop in the area,” Moosbrugger insists.He fondly calls her “Kandyse,” having met her through mutual friends, occasionally swapping business with her.“In this business, you do a lot of little things, and try to be pleasant to each other,” Buckley says. “You might borrow things, or run out of things, and get them from another florist,” of which there is only a handful left in the Pass area.She is sincerely thankful to have Moosbrugger’s endorsement.“In a small town, it can be challenging to own a flower shop,” she explains. “You’re competing with grocery stores and drug stores, and the guy who sells flowers on the street corner. This is so wonderful for my shop. I’m so thankful — he’s such a fantastic human being. I want to give him a great send-off.”Moosbrugger insists on correcting her.“I’m not fantastic,” he claims. “I’m fabulous.”Buckley and her staff, which includes award-winning designer Lydia Natividad, who has received floral design accolades from the California State Floral Association, are prepared to welcome Moosbrugger’s customers with open arms, and floral arrangements with the personal touches that they have come to rely on.Moosbrugger is preparing to move to Bellevue, Wash. to retire.Unfortunately, it’s no joke: he has been researching retirement options and living arrangements there, where he will be able to relax and watch the changing of the seasons — something he misses, ... http://www.recordgazette.net/business/beaumont-unique-flowers-picked-for-closed-sun-lakes-florist-patrons/article_b18d76a4-96e0-11e6-a47b-0fbac745f452.html

Master Gardener: How to make cut flowers last - Press-Enterprise

Tuesday, January 08, 2019

There is a convenient substitute for commercial flower preservative. A number of years ago, University of California researchers discovered that a solution of one part lemon lime soda (regular, not diet) and two parts water works just as well as the commercial products. The acidity of the soda and the sugar in the solution work together to prolong flower freshness. Following these simple steps should ensure that your flowers will last their longest.Q: The raspberry vines I have produce wonderful berries. Several friends would also like plants of this variety but I don’t know its name. How can I help them?A: Cuttings usually can be rooted successfully as long as they are taken from canes that have not born fruit. For best results, select canes that are at least pencil-thickness. Cut them to six-inch lengths and remove the leaves from the lower half of each cutting. Insert the leafless half in a moist soil; raspberries root easily enough that rooting hormone is rarely necessary. Within four to eight weeks roots should develop.When grown under the same conditions as your plant, these new plants will produce the same fine berries as their parent. https://www.pe.com/2018/11/15/master-gardener-how-to-make-cut-flowers-last/
